About Microgaming

Everyone seems to agree that Microgaming's poker software is head and shoulders above that of its European competitors. Players enjoy time banks, resizable tables and a lobby that is truly easy to navigate. The only criticism we have is that Microgaming takes up more processing power than the likes of Party and Entraction. 

Many skins on the Microgaming network have also recently introduced their own versions of speed poker, including StanJames with its Blaze Poker game variant.

Microgaming is one of the softest networks online. A harsh stance on illegal deals, careful licence selection and very playable software has ensured good games. Innovations such as anonymous tables have resulted in recreational players sticking around for longer and redepositing more frequently.

The traffic is respectable and goes well above 10,000 players during peak hours. Microgaming hosts a comparatively high number of PLO games, which contributes to the network's higher-than-average Scandinavian traffic.

A week is a long time in poker. Scandals that took place years ago shouldn't deter players from a good, soft network, but there are definitely lessons that should be learned. Steer clear of under the table deals and sites that aren't well known. Indeed, make sure to stay at a reputable sportsbook where you know your bankroll is safe! iPokerVIP vouches for all Microgaming skins they promote which include the biggest and most reputable sportsbook's on the network.
